Had to call twice today. First time to activate my iphone 5. Second time to get them to activate it on the CORRECT line and reactivate my wife's 4s.
Wouldn't have been so painful except the telephone queues were 30+ mins.

For those activating, I recommend doing it through chat. It took less than 10 minutes for 3 numbers. I just gave him the phone numbers and serial numbers and he did the rest. He told me to turn off all 6 phones, he activated them, we turned on the 3 iphones and they connected.
I was using my iPhone and I was typing a text when some weird lines appeared where the keyboard is at. Anybody that has happened this to.?
The chat button wasn't an option it had disappeared from the website, plus they wouldn't be able to help me anyway. I have to call employee care for any kind of account maintenance. Seems no one else has the appropriate permissions to administer my account.
It appears that all of my FaceTime/iMessage issues got fixed overnight. So now I've got a fully operational battle station..ahem phone.
I initially tried the Chat function to activate and while it allowed me to connect to chat almost immediately, they put me on hold. I finally gave up because after 15 minutes, the message that would come up every 15 seconds that said, "Thank you for your patience, I will be with you in a moment," accompanied by the loud ding, (did I mention it was every 15 seconds?) was starting to give me a headache, ha.
If they have one in-stock, I don't see why not. You'd just have to pay the difference.
No, you can't. What you ordered is what you will get. If you want to exchange, only one way now is bring yours 16Gb to Sprint Store and return it ( pay $35 for restocking fee ) , and order again 32Gb. And will wait around 3 weeks to get new iPhone , hopefully soon if you enough lucky
has anybody noticed their signal strength go down with the new phone?
with the 4S, i had full 5 bars at my house. Now it seems im getting 2-3 and goes in and out of 3G.
Not sure if it's something with sprint or if it's the phone itself.

I recommend activating phones through Sprint's chat as well. Quick and simple.

Thanks. Looks like I'll keep my scuff free 16GB and make it work then.
